88%Purple Nest Hostel

Very good place to stay at in Valencia. Cool rooms even in summer, internet connection downstairs and great staff. Purple Nest should be your first choice in Valencia!

The day I arrived to the hostel,there wasn´t water for at least 16 hours.They sent me to the next door to have a shower, to "Red Nest hostel". In my opinion they should have an additional alternative for this kind of emergencies.

The hostel was really great and on Saturday night (maybe other nights too) someone came around to do a pub crawl which was great for meeting people! Everyone who worked there was very helpful and the rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay there again!

We had a bit of a problem with our passports at the Purple Nest. They withheld them the first night we were there and then did not know where they were located the morning we tried to check out.

The hostel was very safe, because there were locks on each room and a person watching the front at all times. Overall I really liked the place and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The bar and common area was really nice and fun as well.

A beautiful and colourful hostel, we had lots of fun there! Especially the staff is very helpful and friendly. Would recommend it to everybody as well as the Red Nest Hostel. Try also the Pup and walking tour!

Even the hostel is a 5 storied building, the 4 bed dorms were too small to my thoughts. It is such a big hostel that you can wait a bit long for elevators. Prices for snacks and other stuff are reasonable. Since there is a kitchen on the 3rd floor if someone is cooking onions you can smell everything inside your room. Besides the staff were friendly but the hostel needs more attraction I think.close

The Staff were always there to help you and everyone was very nice. Walking distance from the most places, and really close to main buses. If you can, stay here when in Valencia, highly recomended

We had a problem with checking into the correct bed after the first night, but it was taken care of by the nice staff. The only complain I have is that the light in the room is orange.close

The hostel is very clean at all times. The staff are very friendly and the free use of a towel and beach towel is a very good facility. Was travelling with a friend but for someone travelling alone I think it would be a good hostel.

Accomodation in a four-bed room was much more expensive than the six-bed my friends had and the room inside was too little. Six-bed one was better in fact for nearly half the price. I think that was the only thing I would complain about in this hostel. Apart from that the place was great, very...
